Alliance for Energy Policy Forms at LBJ

The Alliance for Energy Policy is a student group dedicated to educating the LBJ community on energy policy issues. With energy equality, poverty, economic growth, and climate change so tightly interwoven, energy policy may be the grand challenge for this generation of policy graduate students. The Alliance for Energy Policy is already active in the Austin community, having completed field experience trips to the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Lab, the Pecan Street Project lab, and ERCOT control center. The organization wants to continue the momentum it has built and requests alumni support. If you are an alum with an interest in the future of energy and would like to participate in or sponsor an event, we ask you to join us and help lead the energy conversation.

The Alliance for Energy Policy invites alumni to a screening of "Switch", a critically acclaimed documentary about the future of energy. Following the film, Dr. Scott W. Tinker, director of UT's Bureau of Economic Geology, will hold a Q&A session to discuss the energy issues examined in his documentary. Dr. Tinker started the Switch Energy Project in 2009 with a documentary filmmaker. Find out more here.

Please contact Tiffany Wu for more information about this and other Alliance for Energy Policy events.
